I have never been more grateful for a book for the lone purpose of the protagonist being 19. She was realistic in how she viewed the world without being obnoxious or helpless to fate. I appreciate her for this.
<spoilers>I'd also like to say I'm proud of myself for figuring out the answer to the riddle quite quickly. It was easy because of the common themes in the book and how the Antagonist centered all of her actions around one thing. Riddles often have simple answers. The writing and foreshadowing in the first three quarters of the book really helped to make the answer obvious to the reader(in my opinion).<spoilers>
